Tip conflicts with target audience #19

Open tanjiaxian99 opened 2 years ago

At the start, it is said that the app is "optimized for use via a Command Line Interface(CLI) that is similar in style as Linux CLIs". Yet, the tip under the cat command suggests that the user could also click on a person with the GUI, which violates the requirements of the app.

Team's Response

We did mention that it is optimized for use via a CLI, but we did not explicitly state that it is built for use only via the CLI. Furthermore, only that feature had a clickable alternative aside from its CLI command. We did so to allow more flexibility for users.

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.Rejected]

Reason for disagreement: I disagree with the point on flexibility. According to Constraint-Typing-Preferred, the app should be built for users who prefers typing over other types of input. This is also exemplified in the team's response. It seems counter-intuitive and unnecessary to have a tip that does not suit the user's preference. If I am a user who prefers CLI, I will be confused by the tip because it seems to suggest that the interface requires both a mix of keyboard and mouse inputs.
